Roger Federer, the iconic tennis star, has made headlines not just for his remarkable 24-year career on the court but also for his impressive real estate ventures off it. Recently, Federer successfully sold one of his luxurious properties, a transaction that had been in the works for nearly five years.
This particular estate, nestled in the scenic Swiss town of Herrliberg, boasts stunning views of the Alps and Lake Zurich. Federer originally purchased the 5.8 thousand square meter plot in 2011 for a reported $35.2 million. Despite its breathtaking location, the property proved challenging to sell, even after being listed for over $48.1 million in 2019.
After years of waiting, Federer finally found a buyer, though it required a price reduction. The estate was ultimately sold for around $41 million to the Zurich-based Amini Group. This sale marks the end of a long journey for Federer, who had patiently waited for the right offer.
Roger Federer net worth
Federer's financial success extends far beyond his tennis career, with a net worth estimated at $550 million. Over the years, he has acquired and sold several properties around the world.
In 2008, he purchased an apartment in Basel on the southern end of Lake Zurich, which he later sold six years later. He also owns a luxurious property in the Swiss village of Valbella, known as a favorite holiday spot for his family.
In 2014, Federer invested in a custom-built, three-story home in Wollerau, Switzerland, valued at approximately $7.3 million. Additionally, reports from 2018 indicated that he was constructing another grand property in Rapperswil-Jona, near Lake Zurich, with an estimated value of $50 million. Federer's real estate interests also span beyond Switzerland; for example, he owns a property in Dubai's Le Skyscraper, valued at $23.5 million.
Despite his public career, Federer is known for keeping his personal life private. However, his fans were given a rare glimpse into his home life through his documentary, FEDERER: Twelve Final Days. The documentary provided an intimate look at his residence, a rare occurrence as Federer usually keeps his private life out of the public eye.
